Another step before any aid delivery is a full-on refresher on applying tourniquets to your own limbs and to others ⛑️
Even if you’ve had tactical medicine training (which every single person on our crew has), this skill needs to be at the level of reflex. You have to be able to do it without thinking; if you get hit, there will be pain, adrenaline, panic, and you’ll need to act fast, especially if you’re applying it to yourself and are on the verge of losing consciousness and bleeding out.
Either way, this is a good skill to have - not just for work in a war zone, but in everyday life (Google the Ukrainian soldier who saved a stabbing victim in Venice, Italy, and prevented him from bleeding out). Even if you’re a civilian, knowing how to do this without hesitation can save someone’s life.
(Also, saw this patch with Pepe and the tourniquet in a local coffee shop - it’s perfect 🐸🔥) 1 reply
